Location

Place the powered subwoofer in a

location that allows air to circulate

around it. Amplifier location and

installation will vary from application

to application. Carefully consider as

many installation locations and

configurations as is practically

possible. DO NOT COVER the

powered subwoofer with carpet or

enclose it behind interior panels.

DO NOT mount inverted or upside

down. The amplifier may be

mounted vertically.

Connect the fused 12 Volt DC

power wire, chassis ground cable,

and remote wires. (SEE SECTION 3,

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS)

Turn on the car stereo. If the Power

Protection light is green, turn off the

stereo and proceed to the next

section. If the Power Protection light

is red, review all of the connections

and wires. You may have a loose

connection, a bad chassis ground, or

an inadequate size power wire. If the

problem persists after reviewing all

of the connections and wires, call

our toll-free help line for assistance.

Do not mount inverted or

upside down. Do not cover

with carpeting or enclose it

behind interior panels.

Steel / Wood Mount

With a hammer & nail set/center

punch, make dimple marks on the

surface for each mounting screw.

(FIG. 2)

Drill 4 pilot holes with an electric

drill & 1/16” bit. Make sure that

nothing is behind the mounting

surface that can be damaged

when drilling.

(FIG. 4)

When mounting the Powered Subwoofer, make sure there is enough

room for access to make adjustments to the volume control.

(#10 AWG minimum wire size)

2. Mounting the Powered Subwoofer

Read the following wiring instructions very carefully. If you have any

trouble understanding any of these instructions, have the amplifier

professionally installed by an experienced technician. Incorrect wiring

will prevent the amplifier from operating, or will damage the amplifier.

3. Electrical Connections

STEP 1.

STEP 2.

STEP 3. STEP 4 .

Attach the supplied brackets to the base of the Powered Subwoofer

using the 4 Phillips Pan Head Screws.

(FIG. 1)

1. Power Terminal

1. Strip 1/2” of insulation from the end of the minimum 10 gauge power

wire. Connect the 10 gauge power wire to the battery terminal for the

LS-SUB-100.

2. Loosen screw to open battery and ground connector plates on

rear of amplifier.

3. Insert the 10 gauge wire between the connector plates. Turn screw until

power cable is tight.

2. Remote Terminal

The REMOTE wire connection automatically turns on your amplifier when

your stereo is tuned on. On most stereos, this wire is marked as the

REMOTE, ACCESSORY, or POWER ANTENNA.

1. Locate the REMOTE, ACCESSORY, or POWER ANTENNA on the stereo.

(Refer to you stereo owner’s manual.)

2. Splice the REMOTE, ACCESSORY or POWER ANTENNA wire from rear of

the stereo to a length of wire that will reach the rear of the amplifier.

3. Loosen screw and open REMOTE connector plates on rear of amplifier.

4. Insert wire end between the REMOTE connector plates.

5. Tighten screw closing REMOTE connector plates on wire.

3. Ground Terminal

1. The ground connection cable should be attached to clean, unpainted

chassis metal for a good electrical connection.

2. Find good, no-rusted chassis metal, as close to the amplifier as possible.

3. Drill a pilot hole with a 1/16” drill bit.

4. Use sandpaper to expose an area of bare metal around the pilot hole

about the size of a dime.

5. Tightly fasten the provided ground cable with self tapping sheet metal

screw to the chassis metal. A loose ground will cause distortion and

popping noises in the speakers.

Carpet Mount

Cut a piece of plywood 22” x 11”

and slide it under the carpet where

the Powered Subwoofer will be

mounted and proceed to step #4.

The line inputs on the front of the amplifier receive low level, high impedance signals from the low level RCA outputs of the car stereo. The amplifier receives the

signals and converts them to high level, low impedance signals to be used to drive the speakers. All of the amplifiers line inputs need to be connected to the car

stereo, in order to use all of the speaker outputs.

Adaptors & Cables

If your stereo does not have RCA type output jacks, a high level to low level adaptor will need to be

purchased. The high to low level adaptor takes the signals from the car stereo’s speaker wires and

converts them to low level, high impedance signals to be used by the amplifier. Install the converter

according to the manufacturers’ instructions.

1. Set the volume control to on the LS-SUB-100

to Minimum.

2. Turn on the car stereo. The LS-SUB-100 will turn

ON and the green LED will be on.

3. Set the head unit volume to a normal listening

level on your speakers.

4. Adjust the LS-SUB-100 volume control until the

subwoofer volume matches the speakers.

5. NOTE: Never turn the volume control to

Maximum. This will result in damage and void

the warranty.
